POCKET-OILER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 10, i914.

Application filed April 24, 1913. Serial No. 763,363.

To @ZZ lwhom t may concern Be it known that I, RICHARD Larrnrnr'rn Floss, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pasco, in the county of Franklin and State of lliashington, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Pocket- ()ilers; and l do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon,`

which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to lubricators but more particularly to a pocket oiler and has for its object to provide a device of this class which can be easily and conveniently carried in the pocket for the purpose of oiling or lubricating surfaces, bearings or the like.

A further object of the invention is to provide a simple and efiicient pocket oiler which is so constructed and arranged that any water and foreign matter is retained within the oiler and prevented from being supplied to the surface or element to be lubricated.

lWith these objects in view the invention consists in the novel construction of the oiler and particularly in the novel construction and arrangement of the chamois bag containing a sponge or other similar' element for the purpose of introducing the lubricating` fluid to the surface or element to be lubricated.

The invention further consists in certain other novel details of construction and in combinations of parts, all of which will be first fully described and afterward specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

Referring to the aceompanying` drawing: Figure l is a vertical sectional view taken through a pocket oiler constructed in accoi-dance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the base of the oiler with the chamois bag removed. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view through the base of the oiler taken on line 3-3 of Fig. l, and l is a top plan view of the oiler with the top or cap removed.

Like numerals of reference indicate the same parts throughout the several figures in which:

l indicates the oiler which comprises the cylindrical base or body 2 having the open bottom end closed by a threaded cap 3, a gasket of rubber or other suitable material l being provided under the cap 3 in order to etleet an oil tight closure. rihe up per end of the body 2 is externally threaded at 5 to receive a threaded cap 6 which prevents leakage, the oil, indicated by the numeral 7, being contained within the body 2 in the manner as shown in Fig. l. Arranged 1n the upper end of the body 2 is a U shaped strap 8 which is provided with a plurality of perforations 9 as shown in Fig. 2.

l0 indicates a chamois bag elongated and of the shape and forni as shown in Fig. l, which bag l() is of a size to snugly tit within the upper end of the body 2 in the manner as shown in Figs. l and 2, the bottom end of the chamois bag l0 resting` in the U- shaped strap 8 in the manner as shown in Fig. l, said strap 8 supporting the said bag properly in position and preventing excessive entrance of the said chamois bag l0 within the body 2 in the manner as shown in the accompanying drawing. TWitl'iin the chamois bag l0 l preferably provide a core or filling 1l of sponge or other absorbent material which is of suiit cient consistency and eifectually holds the chamois bag l() properly in its operative position within the end of t-he body 2.

Having thus described the several parts of this invention its operation is as follows-z The body 2 being lilled with oil through the bottom cap or plug 3 upon inversion of the oiler the oil 7 comes in contact with the chamois bag 10 saturating the same and causing the oil to percolate through the bag and to be absorbed by the sponge or similar filling 1l. Upon removal of the top or cap 6 it is siinply required to wipe or touch a surface to be lubricated with the outer end of the chamois bag l0 which effects a proper lubrication and prevents an undue amount of lubricating fluid from being deposited on the surface to be lubricated. A further advantage of this construction is that any water or foreign matter which may be contained in the oil 7 is prevented from entering the sponge filling 1l for the reason that any such foreign or injurious matter cannot pass through the chamois bag 10. Consequently in the use of this oiler it is at all times assured that no injurious or foreign matter can be deposited on the surface to be lubricated as frequently happens with tlie use of oilers of usual construetion. Furthermore by reason of the arrangement providing for the open ends of the body 2 the oiler can be quickly and easily taken apart for cleaning in suoli inanner that tbe oiler is free from dirt and irnpurities and can beat all times maintained in a serviceable condition.

Having' tlius fully described the invention,

what claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of tlie United States is An oiler comprising a cylindrical body, a cap for tlie saine, a U-sbaped strap in the capped end of said body, a cylindrical elongated bag of suitable flexible material arranged in the capped end of the said body Copies of this patentrmay be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Eatents Washington, D. C.
